My book is The Other Bolyen Girl by Philippa Gregory.
"The Bible orders a man to choose between sisters and to stay with his first choice. Anything else is a cardinal sin."
Lord Henry Percy laughed, "I'm sure I could get an indulger," he said. "The Pope would surely grant me a dispensation. With two sisters like this, what man could be made to choose?"
I finished this book before Thanksgiving. I admit it, I bought it because it's going to be a movie soon and I'm very picky about reading a book before seeing a movie. I'm also very picky about how books are made into movies. I'm still mad at The Firm for completely re-writing the entire ending of the book. WTF?
Anyway, it's a very good book, lots of history without being boring. I'm looking forward to seeing the movie, if only for the costumes. Those dresses were gorgeous but I bet there weren't very comfortable, especially in the heat and humidity.
I tag MP, Lynn, Andrea, Frogdancer, and Kelly.

I just read Atonement for the same reason...meh. I think I could have seen the movie without the book this time.
I did mine! I had such a hard time getting through The Other Bolyn Girl..I don't know why since I LOVE the period. I'll see the movie for sure!
